Psalm 43

Send Out Your Light and Your Truth

1 Give justice to me, O God, and plead my case against an unholy nation;
^{▼▼ Or May You}Oh protect me from the deceitful and unrighteous man!
2 For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?
Why do I go mourning ^{▼▼Or while the enemy oppresses}because of the oppression of the enemy?
3 Oh send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy mountain
And to Your dwelling places.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God ^{▼▼Lit the gladness of my joy}my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
5 Why are you ^{▼▼Or sunk down}in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
The salvation of my presence and my God.
